Slide Switches

A slide switch is a type of switch that is activated by moving a sliding mechanism along a track. This mechanism can be moved to different positions, each of which corresponds to a different switch position (e.g. on, off, or a specific setting). Slide switches are commonly used in a variety of applications, including electronic circuits, appliances, and automotive systems. Slide switches are available in different sizes and styles, depending on the specific application they are designed for. Some common types of slide switches include: Single-pole, single-throw (SPST) slide switches: These are the most basic type of slide switch. They have two positions (on and off) and only control one circuit. Single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) slide switches: These switches have three positions (on, off, and a specific setting) and control two circuits. Double-pole, single-throw (DPST) slide switches: These switches have two sets of contacts, each of which can be switched on and off independently. They have two positions (on and off) and control two circuits. Double-pole, double-throw (DPDT) slide switches: These switches have two sets of contacts, each of which can be switched to one of two positions. They have three positions (on, off, and a specific setting) and control four circuits.
